2011 KIA Sportage (GEN 3)

[miLes]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][B]...The only 2 Reds that they had was bought by me and an elderly couple. Unahan nga kami e. My unit was the one stored sa bodega nila. I wanted it that way coz the other Red display was molested na e. Dami na humawak...hehehehe.
...

ako na isa doon!!! hehehe

The great news about the horn replacement po, you dont need a relay. Pretty much plug & play yung Snail Horns na binili ko ang the difference from stock is night & day po. Well worth the price of admission. Also, replaced the Hi Beam lights with Yellow H1 din all weather.

where did you buy the snail horns? eto ba yung tunog pot pot?

[miLes]

May available na bang colors nung brown? nung napadaan kasi ako sa Kia sa may tapat ng eastwood red and black lang yun nakita ko eh.

1. How's the ride? di ba matagtag compared kunyari sa kotse? or sa SUV like montero?... Tucson old gen lang kasi yun nasakyan ko at nafeel ang ride.

2. Steering wheel? mabigat? magaan? tama lang?

3. Sound insulation? okay ba?

4. Since bago may test drive na ba ng sportage? ala pa?

also waiting for a more detailed review from the owners, medyo mahirap kasi iquantify yung 'maganda yung ride' hehe. c'mon guys stop riding your sportages muna and log in here lol

Sir, to answer your Q's.

1. Cant compare it with the models you mentioned coz I never owned any of them. For me, tama lang.

2. Magaan ang steering nya. Can even turn the wheel with one finger pa nga e...

3. Took it for an NLEX Run over the weekend, tahimik sya. I was impressed coz the cabin was nice & quiet & gives you that "solid" feel.

4. Test Drive unit? I doubt it that any dealer is offering a test unit coz alam ko limited pa ang supplies ng Sportage e. In fact, i heard many of the Units especially the choice colors are sold out na. Just the White & some Black, mostly AWD models are still available nalang. Most of the FWD models are sold na daw.

Got mine from Tekker in Timog Ave. Same horns ata from many SUVs like the Expedition & MB's po....

I wish I can quantify my reviews with the other makes & models out right now but unfortunately, i cant, since i have never owned the other brands. All i can say is that i am very, very Happy with my purchase. I have to admit that I was contemplating a Tucson before this came out but Im glad i waited. Thats it for now....

thanks Kuljacks! btw san banda yung Tekker sa timog? tia

Timog towards GMA. From Morato, take the right going towards GMA BUT, the nearest landmark is Tramway Chinese Resto.

The Bosch Snail horns is available anywhere po. Even in Banawe, Ace Hardware pa nga po e. The important issue everyone will be happy to know is that you dont need to add a relay when you change the factory horns. You can even get Stebels, TypeR, FIAMMS, etc...

Although the Tucson thats out now has many models including the model with the Panoramic roof, but my take, the more amenities the Car has, the more things that can break down or for me to worry. BUT, im sure IF the T-GDI ever comes in our shores, no CUV can even come close to it....

Bakit kaya biglang bumilis ang galaw ng thread nung naging Sportage na gusto ko

Anyway, medyo alangan ako sa place ng horns, parang may chance na palagi ma-ngo ngo or mapaos yun fanfaren (snail type) kapag nabasa sa pag-wash.. :question:

[Starex_Gold]

BTW * kuljacks, mukhang ikaw pinaka active so far.. Ask ko lang ano current FC reading ng Sportage mo?

Kasi kahit same engine and tranny sila ng Tucson GLS 2WD meron parin weight difference. Factor din yun sa FC.

on the bright side, at least di na tatangalin yung bumpers sa pag install..

same situation ata tayo sir..kami kasi Elantra GLS or Sportage Gas.. yung accent e unti unting nawawala sa choices habang dumadami ang mga nakikitang Elantra/Sportage sa daan..gwapo kasi e..haha.. kung sportage, baka Gas na lang kasi kung R e-VGT ulit, parang space lang ang pinagkaiba nila ni sorento.

I always prefer R-eVGT than Theta II. Kaso nagmamadali lang talaga.

Sana yung allocation sa 2nd week of July marami-rami kasi ayoko ng display unit..

malamang reserved na lahat ng Techno Orange jan. puro AWD nalang yung mga nakikita ko sa mga showroom., ano kaya FC ng theta sa route ng parents ko.. sa vios kasi 8 km/L lang.. sa sorento 10-11 L/100km.. nagtataka ako sa sorento considering AWD pa sya di pa lumalagpas ng 12.0L/100km yung FC namin since day 1. baka sira trip computer.haha..

Badtrip medyo madugo yung fog light conversion ng Sportage. Papalitan yung lower trim para malagay yung fogs na may kasamang cornering lamp or yung mukhang may cornering lamp pero wala

Ito yung walang cornering lamp pero buo yung shape


Bakit ba kasi di nalang ginawang ganyan tapos yung pang DLX nalang yung may cornering. grrr

Oo nga Sir SG.... As per FC, Ive only taken her on her maiden run to Angeles over the weekend 7 right now ive only racked up 380kms on my Odo and with over 1/2 a tank of V Power pa. Pag naubos ko na then nakapag fill up ako then i can post it po. Di ba theres another Forumer whos gone over 1K na??

[kiatkiat]

Boss SG,

pero bumper pareho lang ano. sabe ko na kaya pala parang me iba nung nakita ko sa PhDM sportage compared sa mga pics na nakikita ko lagi sa net foglights pala yun. mas astig yung me cornering, kahit wala na yung cornering .

[elbert]

Tempting talaga! Mga sirs no probs ba sa approval ko sa carloan maski mag-additional ako? currently meron kasi akong hinuhulagan sa ngayon. Financially pasok ako. Para sa ganon makumpleto na wishlist ko.

[Starex_Gold]

Boss SG,

Kahit yung walang cornering lamp ok na kasi mabusisi ang modification na gagawin para dun sa cornering lamp. Lalagyan pa ng module, relay, switch, etc. Mapapa-mahal pa eh 880 type din ang bulb baka mahina din yun

[Starex_Gold]

Ito gusto ko rin, OEM grille ng SX



Ito pala yung kailangan na lower garnish para dun sa isang shape ng fogs

[kiatkiat]

Boss SG,

kailangan magaling yung bubutas ng lower garnish para maipasok itong fog light lamp...

almost 5k yung left+right na ganitong fog light lamp sa ebay.

btw, anong site tinitignan mo? ang gaganda ng mga images pati details...Thanks!
